Tiny Taylor Swift tribute, big impact for Noyes Home
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Karyn Morrow, owner of Clean Alchemy, has created a detailed miniature replica of the “Folklore Cabin” featured in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
The replica is currently displayed in her shop window at 1201 Frederick Ave.
It will be raffled off to benefit the Noyes Home for Children. The raffle will be held during Noyes Home’s annual “Take a Seat” fundraiser gala, set for Sept. 13, 2025, at the Fulkerson Center on Missouri Western’s campus. The event is the organization’s largest of the year, and proceeds will support children and families in need.
Owner of Clean Alchemy, Karyn Morrow, said that this was an important opportunity for her to give back to her community.
"I think there are people out there who still don't know about the Noyes Home", said Morrow, "and it's such a special organization geared toward children. I just hope that it brings in some money. That was the whole point of doing this. Love of music, love of community. It goes hand in hand with loving Taylor and her music."
Bidding will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 10. Anyone can bid on this item, whether they plan to attend the gala in person or not.
Taylor Swift fans from around the world can place their bids in hopes of winning this one-of-a-kind miniature cabin from the Folklore album.
At the Gala around 9pm, the top bidder will be announced. If they are not in attendance at the gala, they will be able to pick it up the next day. The winner will also receive an autographed Folklore CD framed with a photograph of Swift.
To purchase tickets to the gala, visit the Noyes Home’s OneCause Auction website. These must be purchased before Wednesday, Aug. 27.
